[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:13:02 PM] <KK> Hello, gang. Sorry I had to bail last week, but I was dealing with elderly parent issues in Fla.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:13:16 PM] <DesertRose> Oh dear. I hope everything is okay.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:13:46 PM] <Aerlys> Thats never easy
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:13:50 PM] <Evie> I figured something urgent had come up to make you disappear so suddenly
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:13:58 PM] <Laurna> Its hard when parents are at a long distance
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:14:16 PM] <Aerlys> I worry about my mom all the time
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:14:24 PM] <KK> My dad is almost 89, my stepmother is almost 85 and recovering from a serious hip injury before Christmas. I was in Fla. for 10 days, and it isn't all resolved yet.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:14:38 PM] <Aerlys> Oh dear
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:14:49 PM] <The_Bee> Deos your half-sister live near them?
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:14:51 PM] <DesertRose> Oh jeez. Yikes.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:15:03 PM] <KK> Not at all. She's in Sacramento.

[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:15:13 PM] <DesertRose> Hi cynicalmedic.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:15:15 PM] <Evie> hi cm
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:15:16 PM] <KK> Half-sister ins in Cincinnati.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:15:19 PM] <Aerlys> hi cm
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:15:20 PM] <Laurna> Hello CM
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:15:21 PM] <cynicalmedic> Hello all.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:15:25 PM] <The_Bee> I hope there's someone nearby
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:15:26 PM] <jemler> hi cm
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:15:29 PM] <KK> Hi, CM.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:15:32 PM] <The_Bee> Hi CM
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:15:37 PM] <KK> No one nearby.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:15:38 PM] <Jerusha> Hi CM
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:15:52 PM] <Laurna> Are the in a community for seniors at least
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:15:59 PM] <Jerusha> That's like my Dad living alone in Florida
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:16:03 PM] <KK> At this point, though, I can keep up by phone as well here in Va as in Fla.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:16:40 PM] <KK> There are communities--So Fla is the land of retirees--but that will take time to organize, once we get the health issues stabilized.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:16:45 PM] <jemler> dr already said "no", but i have some extra snow if anybody wants it! i'll even pay shipping!
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:17:02 PM] <Jerusha> No thanks, Jemler - I have lots
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:17:13 PM] <Laurna> I'll take some
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:17:18 PM] <KK> No snow here currently, but we may get some flurries overnight, and it's cold.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:17:25 PM] <cynicalmedic> I'm getting snow right now.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:17:28 PM] <Evie> I'm done with snow for the year, hopefully
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:17:36 PM] * jemler launches a HUGE snowball at Laurna
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:17:38 PM] <Jerusha> I wish I was
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:17:48 PM] <Evie> I don't need a repeat of the Snowpocalyse
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:17:54 PM] <The_Bee> I hear California may be getting a bit of moisture, but not nearly as much as they need.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:17:54 PM] <DesertRose> I don't know, Evie, there's a storm system headed your general direction next week.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:18:02 PM] <KK> It was 81 in Ft. Lauderdale. Who thought of that kind of temperature in January, for God's sake? I was woefully wrongly packed and unprepared.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:18:07 PM] <Laurna> Caught it Burrrr! my hands are cold
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:18:17 PM] <jemler> LOL
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:18:20 PM] <Evie> It is not allowed to snow on the 13th. it can snow any other day
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:18:36 PM] <Jerusha> Why not the 13th?
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:18:38 PM] <The_Bee> whose birthday? or pre-valentine's
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:18:45 PM] <KK> What happens the 13th?
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:18:46 PM] <jemler> my sisters birthday
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:18:55 PM] <Evie> That's my rescheduled MRI, and I don't want it cancelled due to snow and ice yet again
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:18:59 PM] <Aerlys> We had 4 inches last night, on top of the inch we got Friday. Kida had a blast making a sno-bot.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:19:23 PM] * Jerusha casts a weather spell to make sure there is no snow on the 13th
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:19:41 PM] <KK> Are they forecasting snow in your part of the world, Evie?
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:19:49 PM] <Aerlys> We had snow on our trip, too, but we were kinda in the mountains
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:19:53 PM] <cynicalmedic> I would much rather have snow than ice.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:19:57 PM] <Evie> I hope not, but it's been on and off cold here
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:19:59 PM] <KK> Yep.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:20:09 PM] <jemler> a friend of mine (a woman) complained about snow. she said 3" was enough! a woman satisfied with 3"! what a concept! :-D
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:20:13 PM] * jemler ducks
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:20:15 PM] <Jerusha> It's just "on cold" here
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:20:25 PM] <Evie> the temps keep varying between very cool, cold, and OMGCold
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:20:37 PM] * Aerlys chucks an eagle suit at jemler
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:20:40 PM] <DesertRose> http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/Birmingham+AL+USAL0054:1:US
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:20:42 PM] * Jerusha dresses smelt in snowsuits and fires at Jemler
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:20:46 PM] <KK> It's 38 here right now.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:20:58 PM] <jemler> 26 here
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:20:59 PM] <DesertRose> JEMLER!!!
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:21:09 PM] <Laurna> Yah we are really cold her too. 60F
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:21:12 PM] * Laurna ducks
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:21:19 PM] <cynicalmedic> Launches a trebuchet full of spoiled squid at Jemler
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:21:26 PM] <The_Bee> We've had typical New England weather. snow, cold, ice, thaw
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:21:43 PM] <Jerusha> -12 C here - balmy
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:21:50 PM] <Evie> we had flurries last Thursdays, and schools closed, but clinics stayed open, so hopefully if it snows this Thursday, the clinic will still see me
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:22:02 PM] <KK> I know Julianne has been complaining about the snow in Boston area.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:22:13 PM] <Aerlys> my mom is in Michigan. She says it's been non-stop snow for weeks. really crazy. Thankfully, my nephew checks on her daily
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:22:21 PM] <jemler> actually Evie, they'll see right thru you!
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:22:30 PM] <Jerusha> Jemler!
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:22:36 PM] <Evie> that's what I'm hoping for, jemler. :D
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:22:41 PM] <jemler> she's going for an mri!
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:22:52 PM] <DesertRose> They'll see into her, anyway.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:23:31 PM] <Evie> Itty bitty cross sections of me. Duncan and Alaric are intrigued and want to go, but I'm not sure what the clinic staff would make of two Mini-Deryni in attendence. ;-)
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:23:38 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:23:49 PM] <Jerusha> Especially Healers
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:24:10 PM] <Evie> Imagine what modern Deryni could do if they had access to MRI machines!
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:24:12 PM] <Laurna> Keep all things with metal far away from the MRI.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:24:22 PM] <cynicalmedic> Magnets may not be good for mini Deryni
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:24:22 PM] <Aerlys> be hard to photo-document their reactions
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:24:28 PM] <Evie> "Of course I can visualize the problem...look, it's right THERE!"
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:24:33 PM] <Jerusha> Check your sword at the clinic entrance
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:24:55 PM] <KK> Wow, Poland just took the gold in downhill jumping.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:24:59 PM] <Laurna> At work this week some not so smart registry tech pushed a metal cart into the MRI room and I got sucked into the magnate
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:25:01 PM] <DesertRose> Oh cool.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:25:14 PM] <Evie> wow
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:25:15 PM] <Jerusha> Yipe
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:25:23 PM] <The_Bee> were you hurt?
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:25:26 PM] <KK> (Actually, I think this happened earlier today; we're just now seeing it.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:25:26 PM] <cynicalmedic> Oh, mercy!
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:25:27 PM] <Laurna> Distroyed the MRi
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:25:28 PM] <Jerusha> Is he polarized?
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:25:30 PM] <DesertRose> Eek, Laurna.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:25:34 PM] <Laurna> No one was in the way
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:25:42 PM] <KK> Yike, those machines are expensive.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:25:57 PM] <Laurna> Sorry Not "I:" I ment It
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:26:01 PM] * jemler pictures the look on the doctors face as Alaric removes all those little daggers he likes to carry!
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:26:04 PM] <Aerlys> so much for his salary for the next decade
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:26:10 PM] <Evie> with my luck lately, that will happen to our clinic's MRI machine 15 minutes before my appointment time
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:26:29 PM] <DesertRose> Right, Aerlys?
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:26:44 PM] * Jerusha sets wards to no metal enters before Evie's MRI
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:26:44 PM] <Aerlys> ??
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:26:50 PM] <Jerusha> so
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:27:06 PM] <KK> So, I take it that your shoulder is about the same, Evie?
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:27:15 PM] <DesertRose> About "so much for dude's salary.'
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:27:27 PM] <Laurna> He was fired so I hear
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:27:35 PM] <KK> Ouch!
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:27:44 PM] <Evie> The shoulder is mostly the same. The arm and hand are somewhat better, but only because I've stopped the shoulder exercises that were giving me tendinitis, which is why the shoulder isn't any better
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:27:46 PM] <Jerusha> Bad mistake
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:27:49 PM] <jemler> i have 2 steel rods in my back from spinal surgery in 1981. i live across the street from a junk yard with a big electro-magnet. i was a little scared id would yank me across the street!
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:28:14 PM] <Aerlys> the not-so-smart registry tech...heck of a thing to pay for, that MRI machine
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:28:25 PM] <DesertRose> No MRIs for you, jemler.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:28:37 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, MRI machines ain't cheap.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:28:39 PM] <Laurna> No MRI's for Jemler
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:28:54 PM] <jemler> judging from my medical bills those guys make enough to cover it, aerlys
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:29:06 PM] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:29:09 PM] <jemler> dr i've already had mris
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:29:22 PM] <Aerlys> airport security must be a pain
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:29:26 PM] <jemler> no, they are stainless steel. non-magnetic.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:29:30 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, okay.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:29:44 PM] <KK> Stainless steel isn't magnetic?
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:30:00 PM] <jemler> they also wont rust. i'd look lousy with red hair.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:30:12 PM] <Jerusha> I like red hair!
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:30:24 PM] <jemler> no, kk it's not.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:30:24 PM] <KK> I know it doesn't rust.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:30:40 PM] <The_Bee> I was born with reddish hair, but it faded.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:30:49 PM] <Jerusha> Mine is reddish
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:31:09 PM] <Jerusha> Once my stylist is done with it :)
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:31:15 PM] <Aerlys> my mom was a very red, red-head. She didn't grey, she went blonde
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:31:18 PM] <KK> I think red hair is cool. Don't know why many Brits go on and on with ginger jokes and teasing.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:31:20 PM] <Evie> Oh,crap...looking at that wet/snow projection for Birmingham. *sigh*
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:31:40 PM] <Laurna> On the 13th?
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:31:53 PM] <DesertRose> Sorry, Evie, I know that's not what you wanted to see.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:31:54 PM] <Jerusha> We'll schedule a weather working, Evie
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:31:59 PM] <jemler> they have that tribute to the beatles in 30 min
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:32:03 PM] <Evie> My son has gorgeous curly/wavy red hair. He used to wish he had straight brown hair, but I think he's learning to like it more now
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:32:17 PM] <Aerlys> No worries, Evie, weathermen are rarely right. It's the only job where one can be wrong more than half the time and not get fired!
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:32:33 PM] <jemler> girls like curls
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:32:44 PM] <jemler> except congress
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:32:50 PM] <DesertRose> Why on earth would you trade red hair for brown?
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:32:54 PM] <Aerlys> My only two red heads are boys!
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:32:54 PM] <Evie> LOL! Unfortunately for us, our weatherman is right much more often than not (he's a near legend in our city), so I'll have to see what he says about the forecast
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:33:04 PM] <Aerlys> true, jemler
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:33:15 PM] <DesertRose> Red hair is much more interesting than brown. My natural color is brown.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:33:18 PM] <Evie> he's learned to like the color, but he still straightens it when he can
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:33:32 PM] <Evie> he primps in the mirror more than I do :D
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:33:42 PM] <Laurna> I wish I had curly hair. straight is borring
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:33:46 PM] <Jerusha> I love my flat iron
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:33:59 PM] <Jerusha> No it's not, Laurna!
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:34:00 PM] <jemler> does your weatherman have a trick knee, or is he working weather magic?
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:34:08 PM] <cynicalmedic> Mine is gray, now. It used to be brown.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:34:18 PM] <DesertRose> Mine is semi-wavy, just curly enough not to lie flat.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:34:24 PM] <The_Bee> If I tried to iron my hair, I'd burn my scalp.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:34:27 PM] <Evie> He may be Deryni, jemler. That could explain it. ;)
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:34:35 PM] <Laurna> I tried red for awile but it is hard to keep. Now im golden brown with grey stricks
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:35:13 PM] <Laurna> streaks lol I think that is the word
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:35:21 PM] <Laurna> I don't even know how to spell
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:35:24 PM] <Evie> yep. :D
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:35:28 PM] <The_Bee> maybe it was stricken with gray
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:35:30 PM] <DesertRose> Henna gives a nice red without fading. Right at first it's very bright, but after the first couple of days, mine turns to a nice auburn color.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:35:47 PM] <Evie> Sister Disarray says that stricks is a perfectly nice word. ;)
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:35:52 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:35:57 PM] <Jerusha> I agree!
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:35:59 PM] <Laurna> ROFL
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:36:01 PM] <Aerlys> or maybe your weatherman has a Palantir
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:36:07 PM] <The_Bee> I'm still a natural light blonde
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:36:15 PM] <jemler> Here is a YouTube video that some on you might find interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxAdT2OKXy0
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:36:38 PM] <Jerusha> That
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:36:40 PM] <The_Bee> I';; watch later, jemler
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:36:43 PM] <Jerusha> is good, Bee
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:36:57 PM] <jemler> yuo've seen it jerusha?

[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:37:54 PM] <The_Bee> A hair-dresser once asked me if I dyed my own hair. She was astonishsed when I told her it was natural.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:37:55 PM] <Aerlys> I know the feeling!
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:38:11 PM] <Aerlys> wow, how fortunate, bee!
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:38:44 PM] <The_Bee> But I still feel bad about not being a redhead like my grandma.

[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:39:49 PM] <DesertRose> Have we lost KK in our discussion of haircolor?
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:40:15 PM] <Aerlys> Mrrp, Luke!
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:40:27 PM] <The_Bee> I'm told that when I was born, Grandpa said, I want to see that one when she'd 16. He died just before my 14 birthday. I still miss him.

[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:43:38 PM] <cynicalmedic> Sorry - one of my co-worker's lacked the proper incantation to operate the new convection/toaster oven.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:43:44 PM] <Evie> Hm. Usually clicking on the icon brings the film up in the sidebar, KK. Try double clicking.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:43:45 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:43:55 PM] <DesertRose> Lacked the proper incantation?
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:43:56 PM] <The_Bee> I once tried to show a young girl how to whip cream. We whipped it so hard it nearly turned into butter.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:44:02 PM] <Jerusha> There was a show that did Victorian Farm, Edwardian Farm. I wanted them to do Medievel Farm
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:44:07 PM] <Evie> If that doesn't work, I can email you the link later. Or just go to YouTube and look up "Tudor Monastery Farm"
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:44:11 PM] <Evie> It's a BBC programme
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:44:14 PM] <KK> I got the sidebar, but nothing shows up in it.

[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:44:29 PM] <DesertRose> Funny how that works, CM.

[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:44:45 PM] <jemler> did you post instructions in words or pictures?
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:44:46 PM] <DesertRose> Sometimes yes.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:45:00 PM] <The_Bee> or ask directions

[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:45:59 PM] <kirienne> KK, how are things going with your dad and step mom? I've been praying
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:46:52 PM] <Evie> A lot of the things shown on Tudor Monastery Farm would have been done in earlier periods, so it's a nice way to see how things might have been done in medieval Gwynedd. A few things changed over the centuries, but not too significantly
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:47:27 PM] <KK> My dad is still in hospital with kidney infection and maybe something more; I'll talk to him tomorrow. Step-mother is at home with aide coming in twice a day to help her dress and undress, and to feed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I need to speak with her GP also.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:48:30 PM] <jemler> my sister had knee surgery on monday, came home on thursday.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:48:32 PM] <Jerusha> That's a lot to deal with, KK. Hope all goes well
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:48:40 PM] <KK> So I'm home for now, but know I'll have to go back to probably arrange long-term housing for them. Holding pattern for now. But at least I'm not sweltering.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:48:41 PM] <The_Bee> I hope they'll both be better, but at their age....
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:48:54 PM] <DesertRose> That is a lot, KK. I hope things go okay.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:49:09 PM] <KK> Yeah, I know, Bee. At this age, you give thanks for ever good day.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:49:25 PM] <kirienne> yes
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:50:07 PM] <cynicalmedic> I'm sending healing thoughts their way.

[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:53:23 PM] <cynicalmedic> I have to do that here, sometimes, but the toddlers are much bigger.

[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:56:42 PM] <Evie> glad someone else could answer that question re Mibbit, since it turns out I can't log on that way at all
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [07:57:48 PM] <KK> Bynw sent me another link to the way I used to log in, but I figured out Mibbit from the Deryni website after I changed computers. So far, so good.

[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:10:54 PM] <DesertRose> No, they skate.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:11:03 PM] <The_Bee> A few inches of snow gives much better footing than ice.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:11:32 PM] <Evie> taking 4 hours to drive what normally only takes 40 minutes was just tedious. The last hour or so of that trip was an adventure
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:11:41 PM] <DesertRose> I bet.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:12:00 PM] <The_Bee> But yesterday I tipped over getting out of my sister's car and into a foot of snow
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:12:13 PM] <DesertRose> Ouch, Bee.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:12:18 PM] <Jerusha> oops
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:12:23 PM] <The_Bee> no harm.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:12:31 PM] <Jerusha> That's good, Bee
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:12:32 PM] <DesertRose> Well, that's good at least.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:12:34 PM] <Evie> the only way in and out of our nearest hospital is up (or down) a very steep hill. They sanded the hill, but it was still almost like glass. We know because we tried that shortcut and had to turn around and take a more level route home.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:12:39 PM] <kirienne> Bee, I'm glad you were not hurt
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:13:17 PM] <Jerusha> Or you could have made it into an Olympic event, Evie
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:13:21 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:13:24 PM] <The_Bee> It was the trying to walk on bumps that did it.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:14:18 PM] <DesertRose> My stepdad made a crack about putting on golf shoes to walk on ice, because the cleats would keep you from slipping too much.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:14:23 PM] <Evie> but it gave me two and a half days at home in front of a warm fireplace with tea or cocoa in hand, spending time with the family and the littles
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:14:27 PM] <KK> OK, guys, I'm being seduced by the dark side of the Olympics, so I'll say goodnight. Hopefully, will see you next week--if I'm not back in Florida.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:14:37 PM] <Evie> ok
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:14:43 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, take care, KK. I hope your dad and stepmom are okay.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:14:45 PM] <Jerusha> Hope all goes well, KK
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:14:55 PM] <kirienne> Night KK, hugs and good luck prayers and woodgies
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:15:01 PM] <cynicalmedic> Take care, KK. Hope your Dad and stepson do well.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:15:02 PM] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:15:03 PM] <Evie> what is the dark side of the Olympics wearing? ;-)
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:15:04 PM] <The_Bee> Good night, KK. Thanks for coming, And I hope your family are all okay.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:15:06 PM] <Aerlys> good night, KK. Prayers for your parents
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:15:19 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, Evie.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:15:29 PM] <cynicalmedic> I hate auto correct.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:15:31 PM] <kirienne> I think i'll run along too...need to tend to my simmering spaghetti sauce
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:15:36 PM] <Aerlys> black capes?
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:15:43 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, see you, kirienne.
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:15:48 PM] <kirienne> Hugs to all
[Sunday, February 09, 2014] [08:15:51 PM] <Evie> yum!

"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot (James Alfred "Alfie" Wight), when a human client asked him if animals have souls.  (I don't remember in which book the story originally appeared.)
